this is a self portrait i took whilst sliding along. the camera was upsway down, rather than me (at this time)
the only sport i do is walking. and that’s not particularly sporty. but when i was off at the winter olympics i got to have a go at skiing
look how relaxed and natural i looked whilst moving slowly on two pointy flat sticks

here is the steepest incline i went down. i nearly dissappeared off down that dip to the right at one point, but managed to catch hold of the rope to stop myself.

special offer – men’s haircut

here’s a funny old sign. men’s haircut £10.
i may be wrong but are men’s haircuts impulse buys ?

and those pictures off to the left look like the world’s worst men’s haircuts. unless you are in an 80s heavy metal band.
